PacketFabric Network Components

Physical Interfaces

An Physical Interface is an Ethernet port that gives you access to the PacketFabric network. A single Physical Interface can support up to 4,000 Virtual Circuits to other locations on our fabric.

There is no charge for Virtual Circuits between your own Physical Interfaces, and each Physical Interface comes bundled with a single third-party Virtual Circuit for free.

Each Physical Interface features unlimited utilization and line-rate performance within its local metropolitan market, and can support thousands of Virtual Circuits, connecting to other destinations or services across the PacketFabric Network.

Long-haul Data Transfer

Choose between our dedicated capacity or usage-based models

All data transfer between Physical Interfaces within the same metropolitan market is free. Data transfer between different markets can be consumed via either our fixed-rate Dedicated Capacity service, or our Usage-based service.

Each Dedicated Capacity service provides bidirectional line-rate transfer capabilities 24x7, with no limits or additional charges regardless of the total amount of data transferred across the service.

Long-haul Usage-Based

Ideal for large numbers of locations and hard to predict traffic patterns

Flat Rate of $0.02/GB

PacketFabric's Usage-based service is optimized for clients with large numbers of locations, unpredictable or shifting traffic patterns, or to dynamically burst to larger traffic volumes on-demand without paying for dedicated capacity 24x7.

Clients pay only for the total amount of data transferred between markets across the network, as measured in Terabytes (TB) Transferred. Once a customer packet is successfully delivered across the PacketFabric network, the total amount of data sent is counted toward the usage for that service. Clients are billed on a regular cycle based on the amount of data transferred.

Virtual Circuits

$50 per month for each third-party Virtual Circuit

A Virtual Circuit is a secure connection between any two points on the PacketFabric network. Each Virtual Circuit is completely isolated on our fabric, protecting your traffic from interception, injection, and interference.

There is no charge for Virtual Circuits between your own Physical Interfaces, and every PacketFabric Physical Interface comes with a single third-party Virtual Circuit for free. This allows you to instantly create a secure connection to anyone else on our fabric, like a service provider, business partner, or one of your customers.

Need to connect to more people? No problem! Every Physical Interface can support up to 4,000 Virtual Circuits, and each additional third-party Virtual Circuit is a flat charge of $50 per month.
